Severe Wind and Rain as Cruise Ship Sails into Storm

Passengers aboard the Norwegian Cruise Lines ship Breakaway endured severe weather on their New York-Bahamas round trip the first week of January, as the vessel encountered the storm that generated the “bomb cyclone” weather front. Some passengers described hellish conditions sailing into the storm, including water leaks that froze inside cabins, toilets that overflowed after the ship listed in the rough seas, and seeing enormous waves break over the sides.
